Jasmine Entz, at her farm near Vulcan, Alta., poses with her pet, Beef, an eight-year-old 2,400 pound Holstein that was recently declared by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the world’s tallest living steer. His height, 1.95 metres, shattered the mark set by an Oregon steer — and he’s still growing. “I think Beef is a fantastic animal,” says Entz, who feeds him 45 kilograms of hay a day. “He’s wholesome from the bottom of his feet to the top of his back and everything in between and inside.” The big beast’s future is straightforward, according to Entz, who also raises miniature goats. “Eat lots of food. Lounge around, not doing anything in particular,” she says. “He’s the most laid-back dude. He really doesn’t cause any trouble whatsoever.”

The IPK conserves approximately 150,000 live samples of nearly 3,000 species of crop plants and wild relatives. Through genetic sequencing the institute uses the samples as a resource for breeding biodiverse hybrids suited to modeled environmental scenarios of the future. The IPK also includes a hall that enables scientists to grow plants under precise environmental conditions, such as intensity and color temperature of light as well as temperature, humidity, CO2 content, air flow and other characteristics. Germany has seen consecutive years of drought that scientists expect to continue as a consequence of global warming, creating the need for crop plants better suited to thrive and provide high yields in dryer conditions. The IPK’s seed bank of crop plants is the largest in the European Union. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
